Bulgarian endemic species Pilemia serriventris (Holzschuh, 1984) is reported for the first time with exact data from several localities, including its type locality near Harmanli. The species is distributed in SE Bulgaria along river valleys from the Aegean and the Black Sea drainage basins, inhabiting both riverside and roadside habitats. The host plant of the species appears to be Anchusa procera Besser, and the earlier reports of host plants are doubtful.

New data are presented on the distribution of 58 species and subspecies in the European and Asiatic part of Türkiye, which belong to 16 genera and six subfamilies of jewel beetles (Coleoptera: Buprestidae). Notably, this research confirms the presence of Anthaxia (Anthaxia) fulgurans (Schrank, 1789), Eurythyrea quercus (Herbst, 1780) and E. aurata (Pallas, 1776) within the Turkish fauna. Anthaxia (A.) semicuprea Küster, 1851 is new for the European Türkiye. The exact localities in this country of Chalcophora intermedia intermedia (Rey, 1890), Cyphosoma paganettii Obenberger, 1914, C. veselyi Obenberger, 1925, Dicerca amphibia Marseul, 1865 and D. moesta (Fabricius, 1792) are reported for the first time. Some distinguishing characters of Agrilus (Quercuagrilus) graminis Kiesenwetter, 1857 and A. (Q.) hastulifer (Ratzeburg, 1837) allowing their better identification are given as well.

This paper attempts to fill the gaps in knowledge about the biodiversity of some winter-active fly families from snowfields and caves in Vârghiș, Romania. A total of 15 fly species were recorded from caves and 9 species from snowfields. Exechiopsis (Exechiopsis) pseudindecisa Lastovka et Matile, 1974 and Rymosia placida Winnertz, 1863 from caves and Mycetophila mitis (Johannsen, 1912) (all Mycetophilidae) from snow represent the first records for Romania. Habitus photographs of these three species are provided.

During the period 2020-2023, strong damage caused by singing cicadas (Hemiptera: Cicadidae) were registered on ash trees (Fraxinus spp.) in the field protective forest belts (FPFBs) in South Dobrudzha, northeastern Bulgaria. Bioacoustic studies have shown that the sounds are of Cicada orni. Many exuvia of the species were also found on the trunks and branches of ash trees. On the upper shoots and petioles, numerous oviposition holes were observed, which lead to leaf fall and drying of branch tips. In different FPFBs, tree crown damage ranges from a moderate (25-60% defoliation) to a severe (over 60% defoliation) degree. The attacks were stronger on Fraxinus excelsior and F. americana compared to F. angustifolia. The cicadas affect both old trees and young ash saplings. In young plantations, other tree species (Sophora japonica, Gleditsia triacanthos) were also affected. Imaginal activity of Cicada orni was recorded in July and August, and the peak of egg hatching occurred from early August to mid-September. The high number of Cicada orni necessitates the development of measures to control the pest in the FPFBs.
2020-2023 年期间，在保加利亚东北部南多布鲁扎（South Dobrudzha）的野外防护林带（FPFBs）上发现了会唱歌的蝉（半翅目：蝉科）对白蜡树（Fraxinus spp.生物声学研究表明，这些声音是蝉的声音。在白蜡树的树干和树枝上也发现了许多该物种的外植体。在白蜡树的上部嫩枝和叶柄上发现了许多产卵孔，这些产卵孔会导致落叶和枝梢干枯。在不同的 FPFB 中，树冠受害程度从中度（25-60% 落叶）到重度（60% 以上落叶）不等。与 F. angustifolia 相比，Fraxinus excelsior 和 F. americana 的受害程度更严重。蝉既危害老树，也危害白蜡幼苗。在年轻的种植园中，其他树种（日本槐、Gleditsia triacanthos）也受到影响。7 月和 8 月记录到蝉的意象活动，8 月初至 9 月中旬是卵孵化的高峰期。由于蝉的数量较多，有必要制定措施来控制 FPFB 中的虫害。

A new species of Mycetophilidae (Diptera), tentatively placed in Dziedzickia Johannsen, is herein described as D. longistyla sp. nov. (Malaysia: Sarawak). The species described herein differs from the two previously known Oriental species included in Dziedzickia in having simple antenae, laterotergite with long setae and extended, apically pointed gonostyle. A brief discussion of the relationships among some genera of Gnoristinae is also presented.

Trapping bears (Ursidae) with Aldrich leg snares has established itself as one of the most successful methods of trapping live animals with minimal injury. Most documented injuries are related to damage caused by the trap and prolonged exposure to it. Various physiological and behavioural responses have been observed, however self-eating of the toes of the captured foot has not been described so far. In November 2017 an adult male brown bear was caught with a standard Aldrich type leg snare. When the research team arrived, the bear teared off and swallowed phalanges of the first toe of its rear left foot before it could be sedated. The bear was measured and marked with GPS-GSM collar. Following the instalment of the collar, the animal was monitored for the duration of 23 months when the drop-off mechanism of the collar was activated. This rule out the possibility that a serious life threatening complications arised from the trauma.
